The 'Electrics' Project - Fuses

As stated we have 2 fuse boxes, one contains 4 fuses (1-4)
and the other set of six in-line fuses (5-10), so the obvious step was to look
at each fuse, determine the rating and the wiring colours and remove each one
and see what happened. This was the result

* All these fuses stop the Fuel Pump from working but everything else worked
I assume that Fuses 5-9 all relate to ECU/Fuel Pump/Lamda Sensor functions which
cannot be evaluated.

Later: Found
another fuse right at the front of the car mounted just in front of the cooling
fan, and that is what it controls. I will refer to that one as Fuse 11.
